Posted by QboneDo you think Baltic States wouldn't be occupied if it weren't for the fact that they are a part of NATO? I think the forces which are stationed here guarantee that Russians can't occupy these 3 sovereign states without consequences.
What makes you think the NATO forces are any better..? Your country is in danger because of their presence.
Remember ex-Yugoslavia..?
Posted by cvurkoWell, the difference is that NATO won't interfere in case of a Russian invasion, just like western nations didn't do anything in 1939 and 1944/45 when Eastern Europe was being occupied by USSR. The history might not repeat itself, but it certainly rhymes.Posted by TheGreatSearcherNah, i understand your fear but i dont think russia will invade any of the baltic states this year. ^^Posted by cvurkoWith Obama, yes.

But with Trump lifting sanctions on Russia and treating Putin like a Jesus, I think the Russian military will have their way and invade the Baltic States (after U.S. withdraw their troops and ignore the problem along with UK or any other states). Tillerson is Putin's personal friend and I don't think he would support Article V, despite saying he would do so. The entire thing depends on whether or not Mattis will agree with them. I don't feel safe, especially with several hundred thousand Russian soldiers with dozens of tanks and helicopters being located few miles away from the border of my country. For all I know, they can just turn their weekly military drill around and march into this place. There is no way the Baltic states can be defended with a few thousand soldiers and around 10k volunteers.click to expand
Posted by cvurkoWho said they can't just send in the "green men" like they did in Ukraine? Then they can pull the Russian minority thing and use that as a justification. PEOTUS wouldn't oppose it.Posted by TheGreatSearcherThere is no point in comparing contemporary politics with WWII imho. There is no cassus belli and Russia there is no legal tool Russia can use to declare a legal invasion and as we have seen this far they do use international and humanitarian law to explain their actions (they bend it, yes but it would be very difficult to do that with the baltic states). Apart from their legal inability to invade the baltic states they dont have economical or political interest in doing so atm. Sth dramatic has to change imho for the baltic states to be invaded.Posted by cvurkoWell, the difference is that NATO won't interfere in case of a Russian invasion, just like western nations didn't do anything in 1939 and 1944/45 when Eastern Europe was being occupied by USSR.

Posted by TheGreatSearcherThis has always been a worry of mine with that idiot president coming in to power. Trump in my opinion is going to be the reason we in this lifetime have the possibility of staring WW3 right in the face.
Yay, I didn't want to live anyway.
Seriously though, I live in the Baltic States in Eastern Europe. As of right now, all 3 of the states are members of NATO as well as European Union. However, with Donald coming to power, I'm strongly afraid of the fact that US will simply withdraw from NATO or ditch Baltic States as a favor to Russia. The Baltic States do not have anything besides a small military force, a few dozen NATO rotation-based soldiers and the NATO assurance for their independence. As a person living here, I can say that no one will welcome the Russian military with open arms and this would also prove that NATO is useless when it comes down to defending a member state.
Last time around, when Russians came in here before and after WW2, they burned, pillaged, murdered, tortured or deported roughly 1/4th of the country. They destroyed everything and ruined this place. I'm inclined to believe that this will repeat, especially now that Putin wants to recreate the Soviet Union and Trump only supports him.
Call me crazy, but I don't think Tillerson or Trump even give a shit about Baltic States. The only guarantee of safety are the NATO soldiers stationed here.

Sometimes words of logics will prevent the disaster. NATO is the relic of the cold war era to enslave the European nations right after the WWII create a black and white world, us or them, right or left, north or south etc.
In case of any invasion, those nations in the middle will suffer! Either the Russian or the Muricans wont gives two hoots about the suffering nations unless there is a benefit of propaganda tool into it. Wise move is to recognize the neighboring nations and respect their orders and borders. To all Eastern European nations Russia is the nearest neighbor.

Wow, I see you're another Libtard Snowflake without a fricking clue!
Do you realize Obama has put us in this position because he's seen as a weak, and pathetic leader? Look at the world now. It's a total FUBAR! Obama and Hillary were two of the most inept leaders ever to be in US government. While Obama was busy selling out our country to the Muslim Brotherhood, Hillary was busy selling our Uranium to Russia and taking Millions from China, Saudi and other nations who treat women like shit.
You don't even know your history. It's been Dem. POTUS'S who have gotten us into most wars. It's been R POTUS who have gotten us out of those wars. With that said, both 41 and 43 were part of the same cabal Obama is. THAT's why they went to war after 911. Research the banking cabal and maybe even you can understand.
HRC and Obama wanted to bring about WW3 with Russia. THIS is what the Elites as George Soros have funded and dictated for the past 9 years. The Elites make $ $ $ $ from war and death. That's what all this FAKE Russian's hacking the election is about. Do you ever read any independent news sites or just get your FAKE news from CNN? Trump is very much aware of the globalists agenda and their intentions. THEY hate Trump because he IS the ANTI GLOBALIST. It's not rocket science.
NATO is a joke. The US funds most of us, just as we do the UN, another joke. The policies of being the world's police has to stop. We can't afford it and we are killing our best and brightest for nothing. It's long overdue to change our foreign policy and bring back our troops from many areas of the world that are not needed. That's not saying ending NATO. But revamping it and having other countries fund their percentage is long overdue. As a US taxpayer, I tired of funding NATO and the UN. The percentage of NATO troops are US. And the UN is a cesspool of terrorist countries distracting policy to those who believe in individual freedom. The American people pay for everything and it's time that we start taking care of our own for a while.
Obama has purposely gutted our military and purged MANY top brass because they weren't "YES MEN" to him and his anti American agenda. Our Navy's fleet is the smallest since before WW2. Is that how you prepare to take on two leaders who are building up their militaries and Navy? If you are so concerned about NATO, you should be even more concerned about how Obama has used our military as a social experiment and gutted it. But I see you have nothing about this fact.
RE: Putin. Trump isn't treating him like Jesus. However, Trump is a proven leader and Putin respects him. Trump is trying to stop the agenda of starting WW3. Do you realize NATO has troops on 3 Russian fronts right now? Someone accidentally pulls the trigger and you can kiss you ass goodbye!
Putin looks at Obummer and laughs. All world leaders laugh at the metrosexual whose been POTUS for the past 8 years. One doesn't need to start a war to be strong. We've had 8 long years of total BS! Time to have a real leader in the WH who demands respect and tells it like it is. Good riddance Barry!!

Posted by QboneWhat makes you think these "newly arrived Eastern European countries" (most of which existed before WW2 and who were granted independence by Soviet Union itself) can't have the rights to defend themselves?
Lol
United States moved anti-ballistic missiles into eastern bloc accusing Iranian ballistic missiles, not the Russians.
But then again it’s all about the Russians… plain provocations.
The Russians have every right to defend their borders with all they’ve got, plain and simple. It is shame that they have a lot of borders to share with these stupid and pointless “newly arrived eastern European countries”!
What are those missiles are used for again..?
Who is going to suffer..? In case of war ... The entire ass kisser eastern bloc will be gone in less than 20 min.
Why…?

Posted by Chance_11_I would worry about Russia, because it is a dictatorship led by a former KGB colonel and it is far more threatening than western interests, especially with their nukes. The western nations have admittedly done wrong, but, unlike Russia, they don't want to restore Soviet Union or take away independence from European states.
Given their histories with Russia, it's not unexpected that the Baltics would cast a wary eye towards Russia. Having said that, I don't think Russia has imperialistic ambitions. They are more concerned about being encircled by U.S interests. We threatened nuclear war the last time Russia did that to us during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
The U.S. meddled in Ukraine by staging a C.I.A backed coup to overthrow the government that was elected there. That's what exacerbated the problem and caused Russia to rush in to protect ethnic Russians within Ukraine. Crimea has always been overwhelmingly comprised of Russians with a minority of Ukrainians and Tartars.
Aside from a few radar stations in Moldova and Belarus, Russia has 3 bases outside of its territory. All were asked by those governments to be there.
Kyrgyzstan Kant Air Base and the 338th naval communication center
Syria Russian naval facility in Tartus, Khmeimim Air Base
Tajikistan Russian 201st Military Base Est. 7,500
The U.S. has 800 bases outside its territory, not including the numerous U.S. bases in blacked out war zones such as Iraq and Afghanistan. Russia spends 1/10 of what we do on their antiquated military. Who would you be worried about..the country with 3 small bases outside of its territory or the one with 800 (95% of the world's foreign bases.)

Posted by QboneYou must be a proud reader of Breitbart, Facebook news and Russia Today. Maybe some Fox News as well.Posted by TheGreatSearcherPosted by Chance_11_I would worry about Russia, because it is a dictatorship led by a former KGB colonel and it is far more threatening than western interests, especially with their nukes. The western nations have admittedly done wrong, but, unlike Russia, they don't want to restore Soviet Union or take away independence from European states.
Given their histories with Russia, it's not unexpected that the Baltics would cast a wary eye towards Russia. Having said that, I don't think Russia has imperialistic ambitions. They are more concerned about being encircled by U.S interests. We threatened nuclear war the last time Russia did that to us during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
The U.S. meddled in Ukraine by staging a C.I.A backed coup to overthrow the government that was elected there. That's what exacerbated the problem and caused Russia to rush in to protect ethnic Russians within Ukraine. Crimea has always been overwhelmingly comprised of Russians with a minority of Ukrainians and Tartars.
Aside from a few radar stations in Moldova and Belarus, Russia has 3 bases outside of its territory. All were asked by those governments to be there.
Kyrgyzstan Kant Air Base and the 338th naval communication center
Syria Russian naval facility in Tartus, Khmeimim Air Base
Tajikistan Russian 201st Military Base Est. 7,500
The U.S. has 800 bases outside its territory, not including the numerous U.S. bases in blacked out war zones such as Iraq and Afghanistan. Russia spends 1/10 of what we do on their antiquated military. Who would you be worried about..the country with 3 small bases outside of its territory or the one with 800 (95% of the world's foreign bases.)

I really know why you hate the soviet, but here and right now we are now talking about EMPIER.

Choice is yours; I have had enough with the fucking muricans and their lies! Never trust these fucking Americans.

And the crack about Fox news/Breitbart is a knee jerk retort often seen from Internet trolls, especially since the fellow you used that crack on isn't in the United States.click to expand
